Watercolor Practice

 Good morning,

  Our temperatures are dropping and we got rain in the very early morning hours today. Looking ahead our weather will be more normal for autumn-we have been spoiled by mother nature for sure since September.  Those of you in Texas and surrounding states hoping you are not getting flooded??

 I want to focus on my watercolor practices to just be spontaneous with it and to have fun. Not to over think things.(which I usually do)  So I went through my big folder of magazine clippings that I had saved for journal type pages, inspiration and to share in slow mail letters, and chose this one:






I am pretty pleased with this one.

  In one of my meat packages I had bought an organic free range turkey-so hoping this will be better tasting than store bought. I haven't been happy with those turkeys lately.  I have it defrosting in the freezer which I read will take 3-5 days.  Are you ready for Thanksgiving?

  Enjoy your day

  7. We will be on a road trip to NJ and PA for Thanksgiving, so no food prep will be needed. However, last weekend, a turkey breast was cooked here at home and we enjoyed it most of this week. Nice to see how much you are enjoying the water color painting, Kathy. Sending good wishes to you and Larry for 🦃

  10. Wow, this came out great, thumbs up, chapeau!
    I am not lying, I think in Germany (or Europe?) you cannot buy a turkey. There are slices of turkey-meat at times but never a whole one - I only know that from American movies. Will you stuff it? Would you like to share pics? We don´t even celebrate Thanksgiving.
    There is Ernte-Dank (say thanks for the harvest), but that is merely church-based. At least here.
    Hugs to you and the lake.

    1. Good morning Iris, Here we celebrate Thanksgiving because of the first groups of peoples that came to America on ships from Europe-for a better life-actually getting away from tyranny etc. and the story goes that the Native American peoples shared a feast with them, and the new people from Europe were thankful.
      Years ago yes I would stuff the turkey-but I no longer do that any more. sadly at our ages now-no family so just the two of us. This year I bought a farm raised grass fed organic turkey so hoping it's better than store bought.
      Hugs back
